it also works well right out of the bottle to get oil and transmission 
fluid stains out of your garage/driveyway concrete

Don't waste your time with anything else, just head down to the local
parts store and get a big jug of "purple degreaser" (I buy Coastal
brand, but there seems to be many people selling it.  I once heard that
it was originally designed to strip wax off floors, but the packaging
describes it as a general purpose degreaser.

I apply it REALLY liberally to the part with a spray bottle, straight
out of the bottle, not diluted.  I usually start with the part dry so as
to not dilute the degreaser as well..  Let it soak in for a couple of
minutes, then go over the part with more degreaser and a stiff brush. 
You'll be amazed at how much goop just flows off as you spray more
degreaser on.  Then just spray it off with a hose.  It's citrus based
and biodegradable.  

It's really handy stuff.  I get it in the five gallon jug for 10 or 15
bucks.  Kicks all other degreasers butts.

Good luck.

John
